. Chips • 10-15% moisture • Can be segregated by species • Uniform density, sorted for size • Free of contaminants

. Forest residues • 50 to 70% moisture • Heterogeneous • Contaminated with soil, rocks and other debris

Fibre supply chains need to be short and optimized. Better to process the biomass at a hub and send finished products to market.

• Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is being used to push boundaries on height of wood buildings

• Multi-attribute panels come ready-to- assemble on job sites; reduce construction costs

• New wood-fibre based insulating 13 Storey Residence - Quebec City products are In development

• Major forest sector companies have bioproduct innovation strategies

• Forest sector is efficient in collecting and segregating biomass

• Pulp industry already separates wood fibres into constituent parts

• Chemical production is an integral part of the industry

• Bolt-on plants are far more capital effective than green-field
